Madam, - A headline in your edition of April 15th reads: "Corporate tax rate vital in terms of attracting investment, says Martin". The Minister for Enterprise is a prolific user of the phrase "in terms of" and your reporter includes a quote from Mr Martin in which, true to form, he uses it twice in one sentence.
I'm worried that The Irish Timesis now infected with the ITO virus and I would urge you to take immediate remedial action before it starts worming its way into front-page headlines. - Yours, etc,
PATRICK J. KIRBY, Richardstown, Clane, Co Kildare.
